AQI Reaches 10 Million Cases

AQI is pleased to announce that we now have over 10 million cases in our National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry (NACOR).

The National Anesthesia Clinical Outcomes Registry (NACOR) has gathered data on millions of cases, thousands of facilities, and tens of thousands of providers. Registry participants range from practices who record on paper documents to the most wired academic centers in the country. You do not need an AIMS system or Electronic Health Records to participate in AQI. NACOR is collecting the following types of data: Billing/Administrative, Quality/Perioperative Events, AIMS data and Electronic Medical Records.

We are putting this data to work in a variety of ways:

  • AQI provides dashboards to ASA leadership, various ASA committees, sub-specialty societies, and state component societies.
  • AQI is working on a PCORI grant in conjunction with ASA Education department.
  • AQI is doing some directed research.
  • AQI is providing a research dataset to about a dozen researchers. (Keep an eye out for papers in the coming year)
  • AQI data has been used for abstracts at the ASA Annual meeting.

 

In reaching 10M cases, we have achieved a tremendous milestone in a relatively short period of time.
